Abstract

The Iowa Watershed Improvement Review Board (WIRB) was created by the Iowa
Legislature and signed into law by the Governor in 2005 as Senate File 200. This statute
is now codified in Iowa Code Chapter 466A.
The fifteen-member Board conducted eight meetings throughout the year in-person or via
teleconference. Meetings were held January 24, February 27, March 13, May 15, August
7, September 20, October 6, and December 18. Attachment 3 lists the board members and
their organization affiliation.
The Board appointed a five-member subcommittee to review and revise the Request For
Applications (RFA) documents and submit recommendations to the full Board. The RFA
documents were approved as modified at the May 15, 2006 Board meeting.
